One of the more common acoustic and electric guitar accessories–along with tuners, string winders, humidifiers, etc. –is the capo. Taking its name from the Italian word for “head,” a capo is a small device that clamps onto the neck of a guitar and shortens the length of the strings, raising their pitch.

Why do guitarists put tape on their knuckles?

It protects your strumming hand from getting cut and damaged by the strings. Tape reduces the friction between your fingers and the strings, allowing you to pick the strings faster. Nails can be taped when players use them to pluck strings, rather than using a plectrum (pick).

Why do guitarists put tape on their hands?
